[0025] In order to further understand the invention content, characteristics and effects of the present application, the following embodiments are exemplified and described in detail as follows in conjunction with the drawings.
[0026] The structure of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.
[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 6 , the high-risk and complex scene instrument fault diagnosis method provided by the embodiment of the present application, S1, the temperature instrument adopts 1oo1D system structure, through the data operation and the final comparison of the collection MCU and the data processing MCU, the sensor is diagnosed in the collection part, the open circuit and the short circuit of the sensor can be diagnosed, the safety layer is added in the communication part, and the safety of the communication data is ensured;

[0029] S3, the system structure and the corresponding diagnosis method are introduced in detail in the high-reliability and safety standard IEC61508-2, the diagnosis method and the corresponding diagnosis coverage must be considered for the complex device in IEC61508-2, the corresponding diagnosis function and diagnosis method are selected in combination with the structure and characteristics of the high-reliability and safety temperature instrument.
[0030] For safety integrity evaluation, the related formula given by IEC61508-6 is as follows:
[0031] Dangerous failure rate: λ D = λDU + λ DD = 1.118 x 10 -7 / h
[0032] Diagnostic coverage:
[0033] Safety failure fraction:
[0034] Total safety failure rate: λ S + λ DD = 4.431 x 10 -7
[0035] Total failure rate: λ S + λ DD + λ DU = 4.534 x 10 -7 .
[0036] The high-reliability safety temperature instrument is mainly composed of a collection part, a data processing part, a communication part and a power supply in structure.
[0037] The collection part collects and calculates temperature data, and the calculation result is sent to the data processing part through a serial port. The data processing part calculates the transmitted data, and the communication part modulates and sends the data to the bus to make it a signal meeting the FF or PA protocol that can be recognized by the bus controller.
[0038] In addition to the basic collection and transmission functions, the high-reliability safety temperature instrument adds diagnostic functions to the parts that may fail. Once failure occurs, the instrument will discover the problem through self-diagnostic circuits or programs, and the instrument will enter a safe state to ensure that the instrument is in a safe state and does not send any unreliable information to the bus.
[0039] The high-reliability safety temperature instrument adopts a redundant hardware architecture. According to the high-reliability safety standard IEC61508, the temperature instrument belongs to TYPEB system, and the design requirement is safety integrity SIL2, so the design goal is 99%>SFF>90%. For the redundant structure temperature instrument, in order to improve the diagnostic coverage, the temperature instrument adds corresponding diagnostic methods to diagnose the collection module, the data processing module and the communication module, and reduces the failure risk to make the safety integrity reach the SIL2 standard.
[0040] In the working process of the instrument, the instrument periodically diagnoses each part of the circuit through the diagnosis function, wherein the diagnosis function includes diagnosing the sensor module, the EEPROM module, the external RAM module and the power module, and when any part is diagnosed as having an error, the instrument enters a safe state; a double-CPU comparison method is used to compare the processing results of each stage of the instrument, so as to realize error correction diagnosis and processing result comparison, thereby ensuring safe and reliable operation of the system; when the calculated data of each stage of the acquisition MCU and the main MCU are consistent, the temperature instrument function is executed during the temperature measurement process without any fault, and when the calculated data of each stage of the acquisition MCU and the main MCU are inconsistent, the temperature instrument immediately enters a safe state to ensure the safety of the output signal, thereby reducing the risk failure rate and improving the diagnostic coverage:
[0041] Failure mode, effects and diagnostic analysis (FMEDA)
[0042] FMEDA is a method of detailed analysis of different failure modes and diagnostic capabilities of equipment, and the main factors considered by FMEDA technology mainly include the following points: the characteristics of all components included in the design product, the failure mode of each component, the influence of the failure mode of each component on the function of the product, the ability of automatic diagnostic detection of failure, environmental impact factors, etc.
[0043] For a high-reliability and safety temperature instrument, the safety integrity level is an important indicator for measuring the safety performance of the entire instrument, and IEC61508 proposes the concept of safety integrity level (SIL), that is, the probability of successfully implementing the required safety function of the safety instrument system within a specified time under specified conditions.
[0044] FMEDA analysis needs to complete the measurement of two safety integrity levels; namely: safety failure fraction SFF and average failure probability PFD of executing design function requirements. The failure mode and distribution data used in FMEDA analysis are derived from mechanical safety standard IEC62061, and the failure data are derived from Siemens internal reliability standard SN29500, and the diagnostic coverage corresponding to each failure mode is selected according to high-reliability and safety standard IEC61508. The analysis process of FMEDA is complicated and complex, and only part of the devices for FMEDA analysis and the final data of the analysis are listed in this paper.
[0045] In high-reliability and safety standard IEC61508, various parameters used in FMEDA analysis are described in detail, and only the parameters used are listed in this paper, wherein λS is the total safety failure rate, λDU is the total undetected dangerous failure rate, λDD is the total detected dangerous failure rate, and λNE is the probability of having no effect on the failure rate.
[0046] For the 1oo1D architecture, the dangerous failure rate of the channel can be considered to be composed of two parts, one part is the dangerous failure rate caused by undetected failure λDU, and the other part has the dangerous failure rate caused by detected failure λDD, wherein λDU affects the generated stop time tc1 is determined with the test test time interval T1 and the average recovery time MTTR, T1 is in the range of 1h-87600h (10 years), and λDD affects the generated stop time only related to the average recovery time MTTR.
[0047] The equivalent average stop working time tCE of the channel is equal to the sum of the respective stop working time tc1 and tc2 of the two parts, and the equivalent average stop working time tCE is proportional to the contribution of each part to the channel failure probability:
[0048]
[0049] According to the high reliability and safety standard IEC61508-6, for a channel with a shutdown time tCE caused by dangerous failure, the required time failure probability is:
[0050] PFD=1-e λ D t CE
[0051] Corresponding to different test test time T1 (1h-87600h), we can draw the curve of PFD with tCE by MATLAB software, wherein PFDavg is the average failure probability.
[0052] PFD increases with time, which is almost a linear change, and the average failure probability PFDavg is the average value of PFD, which is 0.0048.
[0053] Through the analysis of the calculation results, the safety failure fraction SFF=97.77%, the hardware fault margin of the 1oo1D architecture of the design is 0, and 99%>SFF>90%, so the safety failure fraction SFF of the instrument at this time reaches the safety integrity level SIL2; the average failure probability PFDavg=0.0048, and 10-3
